Sing, Ye Lovers of Song

Ye lovers of song, 
musically inclined,
Sing loud, Sing now,
All the birds of the earth are listening
while we sing all over the world.

Sing like
...the mockingbird
   where the weeping willows wave.
    ... the swallows
        as mission bells ring.
         ... the nightingale who
             croons in Berkeley square.

Sing like
...three flamingos 
   pitched on Bob Marley’s doorstep. 
     ...rockin' robin with Michael Jackson
        on Jaybird Street.
         ... the Blue Jays 
             at the 7th inning in Toronto.

While we sing all over the world,
all the birds of the earth are listening.
Sing now, Sing loud!
Ye musically inclined,
sing, lovers of song.

A Train Journey

The merrily loaded luggage
Adults in a hurry to find their seats
children walking as the train moves,
Expecting  a wave in reply like" SCHWAMM's son "      
                                                                            .
One eating a packet of "LAYS"
The other shouting at the not Hot tea.

An old man with RUDRAKSHA
among the chit-chat kids.
Many drooping over another in a
dreamy, sleepy state.

Many stations moving on & off
New people trying to find their seats
Many with ear plugs in
Rest watching out from in
with sweaters &mufflers on
munching snacks & breaking their fast

children shouting at the passing by trains
many waking up after a while, stretching arms
many little ones often moving from their seats.
one rushing for recess, the other follows..........








#   Schwamm is a character in ''THE NIGHT AT THE HOTEL" by SIEGFRIED LENZ - a German Writer.
#  Rudraksha is a seed traditionally used for prayer beads.
